Bruce Gradkowski has hamstring tear

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Bruce Gradkowski has a sizable hamstring tear, according to a source, complicating the team's quarterback depth chart.

Gradkowski, who is entering his 10th NFL season, suffered the injury in the preseason opener against the Detroit Lions.

The Steelers could place Gradkowski, 33, on injured reserve for the second straight year or wait out the injury. Gradkowski missed all of 2015 with shoulder and hand/finger injuries. This offseason, he re-signed with the team on a one-year deal.
